Btw, TMU said that, not me

I'M BORED, OK?

Also it's a helluva lot better and more realistic than scola or battier trades, both of which are gonna drive me nuts if they don't get drowned out.

Nah i really think one of Scola or Battier is gonna get moved this offseason. My money is on Battier. He somehow managed to improve his trade value this season and alot of teams in the NBA can use his service. Unlike Alston, Battier can get us a very nice player in return. We'll see what happen. Although i'm an advocate of trading to improve, i would be despondent to see the Battman go. But we gotta get better somehow....

After 2 seasons, i think we're all tired of Alston trades. I mean last season, Skip was supposed to be a goner for sure. He stuck around. If this season was any indication, Alston is the type of PG that works well in Adelman's system. I dont see him going anywhere.

Deflection. :cheesygrin:

(also you can check, I've been a lazy advocate of some variant of this particular trade since before the trade deadline - lazy because I won't die if it doesn't happen, since Alston shouuuuuld be able to carry the ship another year, but I still think it might be a good idea. Boring because Alston trades have been beaten to death with dumb proposals, but good nonetheless.)

can we at least say that Alston improved dramatically over the past year and half....he plays better each game...yea he did suck, but give him some props for this last season, he played well IMO...I was the first one on CF to say trade alston, about three years ago...but he is getting better and I do not see how hinrich can be an upgrade over alston...I just dont see it

on the note, yea Bibby is looking more and more like a lazy grandpa on the court..I dont think I can back his ass up anymore..
